Kaizen Asiedu is a Harvard educated philosopher whose ‘clear thinking’ has awarded him recognition by the likes of Elon Musk. While considered a ‘black conservative’ by most of his audience, Kaizen defies labels, preferring to show the math of his thinking to arrive at nuanced conclusions.
This podcast puts the second term of Donald J. Trump under the spotlight. What did he do well? Where did he fall short? In addition Kaizen reinforces the principle that “politics need spirituality, and spirituality needs politics.” And furthermore, “You might not be into politics, but politics are into you.”
His destiny may take him to follow in the shoes of Charlie Kirk, in his own unique way, speaking on college campuses with his blend of compassion and clarity. This was a fascinating conversation that sharpened the sword of my own critical thinking immensely.

In this surprise-topic conversation, Rebbe Dr. Marc Gafni takes us deep into the esoteric and magical threads of Kabbalah- first confirming that magic is real- exploring how invisible forces connect all things and how we can participate in them through intention, devotion, and love.
Moving beyond *only the realm of* spells and mysticism, Marc reveals how magic manifests in everyday moments: a dinner party where everyone comes alive, a comedian generating waves of collective laughter, or the courage to walk across life's narrow bridges without fear. He distinguishes between sacred magic—which creates wholeness * and blessing* catalyzing everyone's highest Unique Self—and black magic, which fragments and diminishes and curses*
The conversation ventures into profound territory: Why did faith in protective magic fail some Jewish communities during WWII? How does magic operate alongside other cosmic forces? What role does prophecy and the divine whisper (Lehishah) play in our lives? Marc shares validated stories of inexplicable protection during wartime while maintaining brutal intellectual honesty about magic's place in a multi-dimensional reality.
At its core, this dialogue explores how we access magic through "outrageous love". which is the courage that comes from keeping our hearts ripped open, staying in conversation even when it's difficult, and blessing rather than cursing. Marc shows* that tears are *elixirs of magic* —* magical rivulets*of ecstasy, empathy, and connection—are the most direct access point to the magical dimension of existence.

Olympic champion Bode Miller is the greatest USA Downhill Skier of all time. But it wasn’t because he was bigger, stronger, or more athletically gifted than his competitors. It’s because of the absolute mastery of his mind, and the way he merged the spiritual with the physical. I have NEVER met a single human with more control over their thoughts than Bode. In this podcast we discuss these advanced techniques: Whether it is the complexity of how he processed the grief from the tragic loss of his daughter, to the simplicity of how to get a song UNSTUCK from your head.
We also enter into some of our unique perspectives concerning the non-physical dimensions and how those beliefs are not just tangential, but essential to living your best life.

What if the Christianity we've been taught has almost nothing to do with what Jesus actually said? What if modern Christianity has less to do with the message of radical love from Jesus, and more to do with the zealous teachings of the ‘apostle’ Paul?
In this mind-blowing conversation, former pastor and biblical scholar Aaron Abke drops bombshell after bombshell about the REAL Jesus of Nazareth (and his brothers!)—and why the religion built in the name of Christ is inconsistent with His core teachings.

We're back with CIA Spy Andrew Bustamante, because I wanted to ask him, what do you see when you look out at the world? Because 53% of wealthy Americans are getting secondary visas as a backup plan to leave our country.
And what he sees from his unique vantage point is that we're in for a lot of pain and in for a lot of chaos, but if you have faith, there's a possible way through. This way involves solving this problem at a different level of consciousness than it was created.
So we talk about the role of faith in this chaotic world and what's really practical. What's the pragmatic way that you can protect yourself and your family? How can we come together as a nation?
We also discuss some of the dark history of CIA projects like Operation Often where they actively recruited “warlocks, satanists, and black magic practitioners” trying to weaponize the inner mind and the dark forces.
He also just came out with a bestselling book called Shadow Cell, which we spoke about on our previous podcast.

What can be illuminated when you explore in the darkness of your subconscious mind, through lucid dreaming or darkness retreats? We get to the heart of mystery in this mind-bending episode with Andrew Holecek, one of the most brilliant and poetic explorers of consciousness I know.
We go deep into the transformative crucible of dark retreat—something I experienced firsthand. What happens when you face your own mind in complete darkness? No distractions, nowhere to hide. Magic happens, that’s what.
Andrew weaves together decades of wisdom from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, offers cutting edge dream research on lucid dreaming, and shares his own profound encounters in the dark. The stories he tells will leave you questioning the very fabric of reality.
This episode has it all—quantum physics paradoxes, Sufi teaching tales, and practical tools for your own path of discovery. Andrew has a way of making the most esoteric ideas feel like a chat with a wise friend. That's a rare gift.
Andrew is also the host of the "Edge of Mind" podcast, where he interviews luminaries in science, philosophy, spirituality, and psychology. His work has been featured in major outlets, including Wired magazine, and he is recognized for his innovative approach to integrating Eastern and Western perspectives on consciousness and transformation.

What wisdom and knowledge is lost within the lineages of our First Nations people? And how can we possibly recover and apply that which has been forgotten? In this never-before podcast with Chief Bear Cross, an active chief in the Wanagi Oyate “Ghost Nation” Lakota Sioux lineage, we hear stories of forgotten knowledge and deep wisdom that will shift the way you think about yourself and your place in the world. Chief Bear Cross is also joined by one of my most popular former guests, Chase Iron Eyes, a native rights and environmental protection lawyer who keeps his roots close to the original way of life.

When I shared the podcast announcing our post-conventional relationship, it ricocheted around the social metaverse, evoking sharp criticism. One potential reason is that the beauty of the lovership between my wife Vylana and Joshua Draper was not properly explicated. For some people, a relationship where there can be more than monogamy is heresy. I respect that opinion, and my wife Vylana and I stand proudly in the claiming that there are many types of relationships that can be totally sacred.
Joshua Draper is an extraordinarily talented improv comedian, musician and philosopher. In this podcast we discuss how to move beyond the challenges of jealousy and how true brotherhood can be a valued outcome of this type of relating. We also get to play some improv games, which has been one of the great gifts of including Joshua in our relationship constellation.

William von Hippel is a professor of psychology and author of The Social Paradox, which explores how the overvaluation of autonomy has led to isolation and alienation, challenging the very essence of human thriving.
In this episode, we delve into "The Paradox of Autonomy and Connection" and discover insights into how our evolutionary history has shaped our current societal norms and the consequences of prioritizing autonomy over connection. Join us as we navigate the complexities of relationships, societal structures, and the path to a more connected and fulfilling life.

Internal Family Systems, for which Dr. Dick Schwartz is the legendary founder, is undoubtedly the most powerful form of therapy I have ever encountered. Instead of just talking about this type of therapy, you’ll get to witness it in action: demonstrating the efficacy and intricacy of the process in real time.
Coming on the heels of the hardest month of my life, this session was nothing short of life changing. We also got to discuss a recent evolution of his model which now includes the recognition of the presence of dark entities, what Schwartz calls “unattached burdens” which are not “parts” of the self, but something quite other entirely.
For anyone who is interested in therapy, to heal past wounds, or simply to access your fullest potential of SELF, this is an extremely important podcast.
